Persistent cough for a few days?

28-year-old woman4 years ago
I have been coughing a lot for a few days (dry cough). What can I do to stop the coughing (the syrup does not work)? I've been sick since Monday, it started with a sore throat and headache. Now I'm a little better, but I keep coughing! I need help.

Hello, thank you for your question.
Coughing is often a symptom of runny nose to throat. I strongly suggest that you use a saline solution such as Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse to irrigate your sinuses, as many times a day as desired. By cleaning the sinuses from the 'front', you prevent secretions from falling down the throat and causing the cough.
You can also use lozenges such as Fisherman's Friend or Halls for local relief in the throat.
Finally, since you mentioned that the syrup you are using is not working, I would suggest that you discontinue it.
For a more personalized consultation, I invite you to contact your pharmacist who will be better able to detail the other treatment options. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions!
I look forward to hearing from you
